I was in desperate need of some ‘me’ time today – it’s been a rough day. So I managed to escape with my bike for an hour an enjoy this nice fall Florida day. I hit the rural area behind my subdivision and just rode…and rode. And I decided to go on my adventure through…
October started off super strong for me in terms of workouts. But, the month hasn’t ended quite so well as I’ve been sick. These weather changes always make me sick. But overall, a really good month with lots of indoor biking in the last few weeks because of the winds. It’s been beyond windy here…
I love spin class. There is something about sitting in almost darkness, riding a bike with too much resistance and sweating like never before. I do it at least three times a week…sometimes more. I come out super gross and nasty. For me and my asthma, it’s the only thing I feel like I can…
Don’t know about you, but September was a very busy month. For me, I’m pretty sure I spent more nights sleeping in a hotel then my actual bed. Lots of work-related and family-fun travel this past month. And because of that – not a great workout month – but still pretty good. October is starting…
So I’ve been on this “get in shape” kick for about 3 years now, with little success. The problem always seems to be about time. I just don’t have enough of it. Here’s the thing, I’m a routine person. If I can get into a routine, then I’m good. But if something disrupts that routine…
August 2012: 272.02 miles BOOM!!! That’s my mileage for August on the bike….I’m on a roll literally…pun intended. Compare that number to my previous months, and I’m killing it!!! Just need to keep it up! I’m also doing a lot more weights in between rides. I think it’s helping. I’m actually feeling a difference…
Kids are amazing. I really wish that when I was a kid there were events like the Mini Maniacs Youth Triathlon. Perhaps there were and my parents weren’t into it. Who knows. What I can tell you, my kids are now obsessed! Here’s the deal. The YMCA of Central Florida and the Winter Park YMCA…
So I’m thinking of buying a new bike. I have a great, wonderful, awesome Specialized bike already: And I do love this bike! But I’m looking for a road bike. I want to go faster. I want to enter some bike events, and just don’t think I’ll fit in with my big fat tires. So…
Look at this little guy!!!! He was sitting in the middle of the road on my morning bike ride…just sitting there sunning himself. The bad part is that it’s a road that backs up towards a river – so lots of different animals – but also lots of idiot drivers who speed along that road…
Summer means fining a new routine – and that routine for me needs to include exercise. But that also means heading indoors. I still try to squeeze in some evening bike rides – or early morning ones. However living in Florida makes that difficult as it gets hot quick and most days end with rain.…
